Malware poses one of the major threats to all currently operated
computer systems. The scale of the problem becomes obvious by
looking at the global economic loss caused by different kinds of
malware, which is estimated to be more than US$ 10 billion every
year. Botnets, a special kind of malware, are used to reap economic
gains by criminals as well as for politically motivated activities.
In contrast to other kinds of malware, botnets utilize a hidden
communication channel to receive commands from their operator and
communicate their current status. The ability to execute almost
arbitrary commands on the infected machines makes botnets a
general-purpose tool to perform malicious cyber-activities. Botnets
provides a comprehensive analysis of the topic, and comprises both
technical and non-technical sections written by leading
cybersecurity experts. The non-technical section addresses how
botnet infrastructure could be exploited for national security and
cybercrime purposes. It approaches the subject as a public policy
issue and analyzes the phenomenon of botnets from national
security, law enforcement and regulatory policy perspectives, and
makes recommendations for policy-makers on different public
policies, highlighting the need for international response
mechanisms. The technical section provides insight into current
botnet techniques and discusses state-of-the-art countermeasures to
combat the botnet threat in detail. It includes new detection
methods as well as different approaches to actively compromise
running botnets.
